US-DPRK Summit: Free buses arranged for reporters

Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi Transport Management
and Operation Centre has requested local bus operators to offer free transport between
February 25 and March 2 to domestic and foreign reporters serving the upcoming
summit between Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the United States.

Accordingly, all local bus routes will be adjusted to cross near
the summit’s venue to facilitate the reporters, who are permitted to cover the
event.

The routes will also be changed to ensure security around
the destinations accommodating Chairman of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the
State Affairs Commission of the DPRK Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport has sent a dispatch
asking the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam, Hanoi Department of Transport,
Vietnam Automobile Transportation Association, and Hanoi Taxi Association to
intensify public transport management during the period.

Regular inspections and strict punishments for violations
have also been assigned to competent agencies.

The second DPRK-USA Summit is set to take place in the
capital city of Hanoi on February 27 and 28.–VNA
